Song lyrics

We at war,
We at war with terrorism, racism
But most of all we at war with ourselves.

Jesus walks.
God, show me the way because the Devil's tryna break me down.
Jesus walks with me.

You know what the Midwest is? Young and restless,
Where restless niggas might snatch your necklace,
And next these niggas might jack your Lexus,
Somebody tell these niggas, who Kanye West is.
I walk through the valley of the Chi where death is,
Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless,
Try to catch, it it's kinda hard.
Gettin' choked by detectives, yeah, yeah, now check the method:
They be askin' us questions, harass and arrest us,
Sayin', “We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!”
Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?
We ain't goin' nowhere but got suits and cases.
A trunk full of coke rental car from Avis,
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us.
Well, momma, I know I act a fool,
But I'll be gone till November, I got packs to move, I hope.

Jesus walks.
God, show me the way because the Devil's tryna break me down.
Jesus walks with me.
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now.
Jesus walks.
And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs.
Jesus walks with me.
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid ‘cause we ain't spoke so long.
Jesus walks with me. [x2]

To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the scrippers.
Jesus walks for them.
To the victims of welfare, for we livin' in hell here, hell yeah!
Jesus walks for them.
Now, hear ye, hear ye, wanna see Thee more clearly,
I know, He hear me when my feet get weary
‘Cause we're the almost nearly extinct,
We rappers is role models: we rap, we don't think.
I ain't here to argue about his facial features,
Or here to convert atheists into believers,
I'm just tryna say the way school need teachers,
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis,
That's the way I need Jesus.
So here go my single, dog, radio needs this,
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus,
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape,
But if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh?
Well, if this take away from my spins,
Which will probably take away from my ends,
Then I hope this take away from my sins,
And bring the day that I'm dreamin' about,
Next time I'm in the club, everybody screamin' out.

Jesus walks.
God, show me the way because the Devil's tryna break me down.
Jesus walks with me.
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now.
Jesus walks with me.
